Erasmo Leiva-Merikakis

Charles de Foucauld, Second Edition

History & Biography

“This is no saccharine-coated saint's life, but a sober and gripping account of what it costs to live exclusively for the love of Christ while struggling with the resistance of human nature and a hostile environment.”

Exodus

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“This Bible study is a triumph both of piety and scholarship, in the best Catholic tradition: simply the most useful succinct commentary that any Christian or other interested person could hope for.”

The Word

Prayer & Spiritual Formation

“Adrienne von Speyr offers us rich nourishment for both theological reflection and contemplative prayer. While never leaving the sacred text behind, she has a unique gift for opening up to us aspects of God's Word that are perhaps not readily apparent and yet turn out to be its very essence. With ecstatic insights that leave her reader slack-jawed before the Mystery, she combines sober formulations that we can take away with us after the moment of illumination has subsided, as sustaining food for the journey. Always orthodox but never conventional, always soul-stirring but never sentimental, always relevant but never faddish, this book-length meditation will transport you straight to the Heart of the Word resting on his Father's bosom.”
